Description

The Brampton Mastermind Networking group designed to inspire, motivate and educate entrepreneurs in Brampton and parts of the GTA to successfully overcome business challenges.

The main objective of the session is to connect you with other business owners and entrepreneurs, who might give suggestions to the challenges you face, that would help grow your business.

Afterall, 'Two heads are better than one'.
